The output can be in any writeable raster format, such as .tif or .crf.

Raster Dataset

cell_size

The cell size of the output raster dataset.

Double

interpolation_method

(Optional)

The method used to interpolate the output raster dataset from the point cloud.

TRIANGULATION — Also known as triangulated irregular network (TIN) linear interpolation designed for irregularly distributed sparse points, such as solution points from block adjustment computation.

NATURAL_NEIGHBOR —This is similar to triangulation but generates a smoother surface and is more computationally intensive.

IDW —This is used for regularly distributed dense points, such as point cloud LAS files from the Generate Point Cloud tool. The IDW search radius is automatically computed based on average point density.

String

smooth_method

(Optional)

Specify a filter to smooth the output raster dataset.

GAUSS3x3 —A Gaussian filter with a 3 by 3 window.

GAUSS5x5 —A Gaussian filter with a 5 by 5 window.

GAUSS7x7 —A Gaussian filter with a 7 by 7 window.

GAUSS9x9 —A Gaussian filter with a 9 by 9 window.

NONE —Do not apply a smoothing filter.

String

surface_type

(Optional)

Create a digital terrain model or a digital surface model.

DTM —Create a digital terrain model by interpolating only the ground points.

DSM —Create a digital surface model by interpolating all the points.

String

fill_dem

(Optional)

A DEM raster input that is used to fill NoData areas. Areas of NoData may exist where pixels do not have enough information from the input to generate any values.
